"greyed out"? Are you using "make xconfig", perhaps? >I can find nothing telling me what else I need to enable to be able to enable >the frame-buffer drivers. In the "make menuconfig" version of kernel make, framebuffer support is labeled as experimental. This mean you need to enable support for experimental drivers (the first menu choice in "make menuconfig" ... not sure where it is in "make xconfig") to have it available. >Does anybody know what options I must enable, or even better, have a >dependancy map of the kernel? Not sure what you have in mind by the second half of this. I too would like better documentation of interdependencies among config options, but I don't know where to find such a reference. -- -----------------------------------------------"Never tell me the odds!"-------------- Ray Olszewski -- Han Solo Palo Alto, California, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
